Dynamics of the Middle Atmosphere
Journal of Atmospheric and Terrestrial Physics, 1979Abstract Observational evidence for the broad spectrum of motions in the middle atmosphere (defined as that region between the tropopause and 100 km) are presented. These include zonal mean motions, planetary waves (both extratropical and tropical), tides, gravity waves, synoptic scale motions, and turbulence.

Publisher Summary This chapter introduces a framework for describing and interpreting the structure and evolution of large-scale atmospheric motions. It considers motions with horizontal scales of hundreds of kilometers or longer, vertical scales on the order of the depth of the troposphere, and timescales on the order of a day or longer.

Dynamics of Jupiter's atmosphere
Nature, 2000Jupiter's atmosphere is famous for its storm systems, such as the Great Red Spot, which has been active for more than 300 years. What drives Jupiter's turbulent weather has long been a matter of debate. New images from the Galileo spacecraft indicate that moist convection — familiar from thunderstorms on Earth — transports energy upwards through the ...

The goal of this study is to explain the relation among atmospheric stability/turbulence (considering wind speed), air pollution and the spread of COVID-19 to provide insights into environmental risk factors of specific regions.

Dynamics of Jovian Atmospheres
Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics, 1995Earth's atmosphere receives more energy per unit area than any other planetary atmosphere (including Venus), and yet has the weakest winds in the solar system (Ingersoll 1 990). This is an indication that the terrestrial problem is complicated. Major factors that contribute to the complexity of Earth's weather are its irregular boundary conditions, i ...

Atmospheric dynamics of the outer planets
Science, 1990Despite major differences in the solar and internal energy inputs, the atmospheres of the four Jovian planets all exhibit latitudinal banding and high-speed jet streams. Neptune and Saturn are the windiest planets, Jupiter is the most active, and Uranus is a tipped-over version of the others.

Earth’s atmosphere is composed of a mixture of gases such as nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, water vapor, and ozone. A wide variety of fluid flows take place in the atmosphere. In this chapter, we show how the theory of fluid dynamics in Chapter ?? is applied to the atmosphere.

Abstract : We have studied the heating of the solar chromosphere and corona, and the propagation of acoustic waves through the transition region between the chromosphere and corona. In order to place an upper limit on the effectiveness of acoustic waves in heating, we have written and tested a computer program to accurately calculate the propagation ...

Atmospheric and Oceanic Fluid Dynamics: Fundamentals and Large-Scale Circulation
, 2017The atmosphere and ocean are two of the most important components of the climate system, and fluid dynamics is central to our understanding of both. This book provides a unified and comprehensive treatment of the field that blends classical results with ...
